Historic Goleta Mansion Gardens for Weddings and Outdoor Events

Rancho La Patera & Stow House is a historic Goleta garden venue centered around a Carpenter Gothic mansion, mature landscaping, and outdoor ceremony and reception settings. The gardens are suited to intimate weddings, large receptions, and daytime celebrations, with the redwood tree, mansion steps, bird of paradise plantings, and Lake Los Carneros nearby helping shape the atmosphere.

This is a strong fit for hosts who want an outdoor Santa Barbara-area event with historic character and a large garden footprint. The setting gives planners room for ceremonies, receptions, photos, guest circulation, and open-air gatherings without relying on a generic banquet hall. Event amenities include 1,000 maximum capacity, outdoor function space, outside catering allowed, WiFi, and ADA/ACA accessibility.
